研究领域

Investigation of biologically-active substances from natural and synthetic sources for therapeutic purposes and/or research tools. Use of specific biological tests and screens are used to detect biologically active substances potentially useful for the treatment of viral, neurological, cardiovascular, cancer and other diseases. Isolation of bioactive substances detected in extracts of selected plants, their identification and evaluation as potential drugs, lead substances for drug development and/or research tools. Syntheses of biologically-active natural products and analogues, structure-activity relationships and drug design. Investigation of the chemical profiles of selected medicinal herbs by extraction, analysis, identification and quantification of chemical constituents. Evaluation of medicinal effects attributed to herbs by examining published information about the pharmacological activity of the constituents, or by subjecting extracts or isolated constituents to relevant analytical, chemical and/or biological assays. Discovery of Australian plants with medicinal potential.
